Have our wishes been answered? Scientists have found an oil field which contains 200 times more hydrocarbons than there is water on the whole of the Earth.

Time to wave peak oil goodbye forever but before you do I should probably inform you of the tiny hiccup in any plan to develop this oil field.

It is around 1,300 light years away.

The scientists work at the Max Planck Institute in Germany, and using the 30m-telescope of the Institute for Radio Astronomy they discovered a vast cloud of hydrocarbons within the Horse Head Nebula galaxy in the Orion constellation.

I got a Texas buddy who will pay 1/8 royalty and 6% severance tax to get a lease on this thing. It may take a while to work out but I think he can do it. I'm in for a 3% override on the remaining 87.5% working interest. Which direction is this field from Texas? TWB

What really horrifies Liberals about space travel is that it opens up a whole new frontier. One that is infinite and will likely never be conquered. When new planets are being colonized, there won’t be a lot of room for Liberal fantasies, silly laws, or PC. And I’ll bet the colonists won’t like paying taxes either.

If true, this shows how wrong the term “fossil fuels” in describing all our carbon fuels.

I am convinced that our “fossil” fuels are being generated by our huge furnace that starts a few miles below the surface of the earth. It is just too much of it to have been all produced by plants and animals.
